Flow Rate Closed/Open Systems
Hey,
Again I'm struck between the flow in my 70G Reef. I have been trying to research and figure out whats best but there is so many arguments bordering both sides that I would apprecaite a few peoples opinions and suggestions.
I haven't bought a return pump from my sump yet so I'm open to ideas. Here are a few things that are clear like MUD
Flow through Sump? - GPH on Return Pump? Head of Approx 3 Feet? Suggestions on a model of pump.
Powerheads? Should I be aiming for about 25x Water Cycle? Which would put me at approx 1700GPH?
The water cycle through your system isn't measured by the water flowing through your sump but more the Amount of Flow in your tank?
So If I aimed at around a 500-600GPH Return Pump and made up teh 1000GPH in Powerheads would that be sufficient in Flow for LPS/SPS?
Appreciate any clearing of the mud anyone can do.
